FAQ

Common Questions.

What is a ceramic coating?

A liquid nano-glass layer that bonds to your clear coat and cures into a hard, slick, hydrophobic shell — protecting the paint and making it easy to clean.

How much does it cost?

It varies with car size, paint condition and coating tier. Enhancement packages start around $550; full correction plus a premium coating sits higher. See our cost page for the breakdown.

How long does it last?

From 12 months for a spray ceramic up to 5+ years for a multi-layer GYEON system, with an ONYX lifetime option (annual maintenance required).

Does it stop scratches and stone chips?

It resists light marring and makes washing safer, but it's not a physical barrier against stone chips — that's what PPF is for. Many owners combine both.

Is it better than wax?

Far more durable and protective. Wax lasts weeks; a coating lasts years and offers much stronger UV and chemical resistance.

Do I need paint correction first?

Almost always some level, because a coating locks in whatever is underneath. At minimum we recommend a one-stage enhancement.

Can you coat my car at home?

Yes — we're mobile across South-East Melbourne and coat in your garage or carport so it cures properly.

How do I look after it?

Wash every 1–2 weeks with pH-neutral shampoo and correct technique, avoid brush car washes, and use a ceramic booster now and then. See our maintenance guide.
